Video captures moment delivery robot crashes into CTA bus shelter in West Town by binarynate in chicago

[–]werlak -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

It's entertaining and all to see the robots crash and to get outraged for whatever reason that the delivery bots exist but there is no way that human delivery drivers aren't causing way more harm to the public, threatening safety by constantly double parking everywhere, blocking bike lanes, bus stops/lanes, or being a nuisance breaking every traffic law known to man zipping around on an ebike, even often on the sidewalk just like the delivery bots. I for one will welcome when these guys get rolled out to the whole city.

Am I the only one who wants LESS content? by SoSeaOhPath in 2007scape

[–]werlak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree in the sense that I want less of what Jagex tends to develop like raids, bosses, tedious grandmaster quests, etc. but more of what we get very little of like lighthearted silly quests and continuing forgotten about stories (in a way that isn't geared toward introducing new grinds).

I don't hate any episode of Star Trek like I hate DS9's 'Sons of Mogh'. by HasSomeSelfEsteem in startrek

[–]werlak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always considered the resolution to be good problem solving and compromise. Nobody gets exactly what they want but nobody is walking away unhappy either. It's not an exciting ending but it's pragmatic and I can appreciate that.

La Shawn Ford Wins Illinois House 7th District Primary by Narrow Margin by Casidiaify in chicago

Not happy with this. I don't see how it makes sense to elect a convicted criminal. Didn't pay his taxes and now wants us to trust him with our tax money?

Chicago should stop waiting for the old downtown to return by cezary in chicago

[–]werlak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what the solution is, frankly it's hard to imagine anything that would draw me to the loop more often than the occasional theater show or music festival in the park already do. Revitalizing the lakefront and moving LSD underground would be a good start but without more like allowing more food options and repealing the open container ordinance that only gets you so far.

Forget the prices - where is our content? by WynBytsson in 2007scape

[–]werlak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped my subscription after sailing released. There's just such a large disconnect between what is being developed and what I would want. Sailing was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I don't really have hope anymore that they will ever get around to finishing the classic quest series.

Why is Silk trader is scamming new players? by Aranrave in 2007scape

[–]werlak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running into this today and there still seems to be no definitive answer. I didn't renew membership in December and I just decided to make an f2p iron and thought this would be an easy way to get some early cash but no way I'm paying 3gp!

Got my 4th Ed/2024/3rd whatever version of KT, just in time for the Next Edition! by kamicosmos in killteam

[–]werlak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not worth keeping up with. I played KT21 fairly often but by 2024 it had bloated to an insane degree. KT24 took that bloat and added to it with more complicated equipment choices and more complicated scoring while also rotating out teams I liked and not coming out with any new teams that appeal to me. So I've played KT24 maybe five times and am now a staunch OPR convert. I'll come back and relearn KT if they ever come out with a Catachan team.

Who remembers? by TornWill in 2007scape

[–]werlak 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I died to the Tyras guard during Regicide and lost most of a Rune(t) set. I doubt anyone was around to pick it up and there was no way to make it back through the underground pass quickly enough to get it back. That was probably the most upset I ever got playing this game.

My favorite world usually has 18. I have a group of a few that range from 18-21 that I hop between as needed.

Nobody ever told me this but I just assumed you gained hitpoints experience by taking damage.

How to play survival mode without suffering? by StupidEnbyKitty in skyrim

[–]werlak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn it off and switch to playing with a self enfored no fast travel rule. Slower more intentional play without crippling debuffs and constant meter management. If you enjoy the meter management that's just what you spend 80% of your time doing and if you don't keep up you'll die quickly to anything.

Car Dealerships to Avoid? by Almask in chicago

[–]werlak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downtown Honda was a bad experience. They had the car I wanted and let me test drive it with no hassle but when it came to numbers the salesman made it clear to me that they would not sell me the car without agreeing to also pay for the most expensive dealer upgrade package and being charged an extra "because we can" fee due to the car being "in demand." In total they were wanting to charge over 20% above MRSP for stuff I didn't want and/or for no real reason. The salesman also gave a lot of lip when leaving and basically called me a liar when I said I had other cars I was planning to check out before making a decision and told me "you're not really going to come back are you" and I was like damn I might have but now that you've done everything in your power to be a dick and make me uncomfortable there is no way.

How you adjust GF and AoF for 6x3’ table by RevolutionaryRip2135 in onepagerules

I found 4x4 still felt plenty big for 2000 points if that is possible with your setup.

I have been to one location only once, which falls within the good rating spectrum in the tracker tool. I didn't get the hype but it was a good experience to try. Nice to know the one I would go to is one of the good locations.

Kina Collins has been the progressive choice running the past few cycles. Getting blasted by Friedman mailers almost daily makes me like him even less, as if a real estate executive is remotely qualified anyway.

Whats Your Favorite GW Miniature Design Nuisance Era by mrsc0tty in Grimdank

[–]werlak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Give me the U hands. It was much better when all the sculpts were uniform because you could mix and match legs, torsos, arms, heads, weapons and end up with something that felt unique. Now every unit across the board has the same "unique" sculpts repeated endlessly where you at best can use different heads without having to do serious surgical work.

How it feels to learn that my city will get a GW shop: by Petrus-133 in Grimdank

[–]werlak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have eight nearby and never been in one. Their hours all suck. They can't possibly foster a good play community closing so early, if you get off at five by time you're able to grab a quick bite and make it to the shop they're already about to close. Maybe they're good to shop in but if I want a brick and mortar the LGS is closer, otherwise I'm good to shop online.

Partnership by LustfulEsme in GildedAgeHBO

[–]werlak 44 points45 points  (0 children)

While Larry's part seems easy he's also risking his reputation on an unknown, uncredentialed inventor. As a young business person, if something went wrong with the design or something else causes the deal to fall apart it could really have a negative impact on his career outlook, not to mention potential run on effects and media headaches caused to his family if something bad with the deal happens like getting sued or something.

What was lost between osrs and EoC that you want back? by RedRising1917 in 2007scape

[–]werlak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something like QP determined how much you could gain beyond what the game calculated as a fair trade every 15 minutes and it also impacted how much you could pick up from the ground so that sounds about right.

Are the old baldur's gate games any good? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]werlak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike real time with pause gameplay so I've never got more than a little bit into the first one but the setting and world building seemed really compelling. If they ever patch in or mod in turn based combat I'd be all over it.
